These are the most simple explanations I can give you.

Quota = the amount of new members that each chapter can take during formal recruitment. It is generally determined by the number of PNMs participating and the number of chapters participating.

Example: if there are 40 PNMs and 4 sororities, quota is 10. (40 divided by 4 = 10).

Total is the MAX number of women a chapter can have at any given time. This is generally set by a Panhellenic vote. Example: I believe total at Bama is 200 women.

A chapter can meet quota during formal, but still not be at total.

ETA: Ahi4Ever is good.
